We have been at lesson 70 for a few weeks now.  We get partway through and he gets bored or rebels.  I was reading some posts on another forum where someone said that is where her child had hit a wall with the program too.  I think the problem here is that those stories are cute but kind of predictable, repetitive, Boring.  I love the system and it works really well. So well, in fact, that I have caught Monkeyman reading for months now.  There will be a sign in a store and he will just do what it says, or read it aloud.  Or I will leave a note on the table and he follows my directions without talking to me about it.  It is so funny. 

Yesterday after a frustrating morning we went outside in the afternoon.  We played at the water park and hit the library.  I got him signed up for the summer reading program and picked up a copy of the Usbourne's Children's Bible.  It was so neat!  At the top of the pages there were simple sentences for your child to read and at the bottom there was more complicated text for Mom and Dad to read.  Monkeyman decoded the sentences- all of them. He needed very little help!  It was so very cool!
